A cool house is often a standard of comfort. Therefore, some homes in urban areas use air conditioning. Unfortunately, many do not realize that air conditioning is not environmentally friendly.
Vareon in air conditioners can damage the ozone layer on earth. In addition, many houses have poor lighting. As a result, a house like this needs lots of lights, even lots of lights on during the day.
Imagine, how much electricity is used each day for just one house.
What is needed now is an environmentally friendly home. Like one of the houses in the Ulee Madon region, Aceh.
Very little energy uses electricity.
The window intentionally uses transparent glass, so that sunlight freely penetrates and illuminates the whole house.
Air circulation in the house is also very good. House roof deliberately made high, so the house feels cool, even without air conditioning.
The roof's height is almost 5 meters. Coolness is increasing with the windows that deliberately made large.
Homeowners deliberately build homes with environmentally friendly concepts like this.
So, there are two characteristics of this house. The first is that he is designed not to show a clear boundary between the outside, inside.
And secondly, the design is also set to follow environmental principles.
It's not only the design of the house that is noticed. Even the source of water for this house comes from rain-fed water.
Very little electricity consumption, the most electric power actually to be used in the refrigerator.
And we use energy saving lamps. Everything is designed so that as little as possible take resources from outside.
The principle of environmentally friendly homes like this is certainly very beneficial. No big electricity costs that must be spent every month.
This 6000 watt electricity house, every month the electricity bill is only 500 thousand Rupiah.
The materials for building this house are local materials. For wood taken from plantations, so as not to damage the forest.
The yard is also lush with various plants.
Behind the house planted with guava trees, and various vines.
The existence of this plant can filter out the sun's heat, so that even without air conditioning the house still feels cool.
The steek mango tree contains 4 different types.
So, we can sit and watch the plants, it seems like the heart is calm.
Unfortunately there are still very few homes that apply the concept of environmentally friendly like this. Even though saving energy actually has to start from the smallest environment, namely the house.
This house is not located in the city center. For me, an environmentally friendly home can be built anywhere. What's important is that when we build houses, design houses, we think about the environment. How to make the house not spend too much resources.
However, for a population environment such as the city of Jakarta, it needs a more careful design. For example, pay attention to the direction of sunrise, or sunset. Wind direction, as well as the choice of environmentally friendly building materials.
It is not appropriate that we continue to extract natural resources, without any effort to preserve them.
With a little eco-friendly home business like this can be made anywhere, without the need for expensive costs. From the smallest home environment, our own home, we can help reduce environmental damage.
Hopefully inspire, see you soon.
